Beit Ghazaleh is one the largest and better-preserved palaces from the Ottoman period in Aleppo. It was named after the Ghazaleh family. Since 1914, it was used as a public school and was restored to host the Memory Museum of the city of Aleppo. Beit Ghazaleh is located in the Al-Jdayde district of Aleppo; the house is located on the Western edge of a large suburb inhabited by a multi-religious and multi-ethnic population. This neighbourhood to the North of the old city of Aleppo developed since the late Mameluke period; this area became the Christian quarter of Jdeideh, organically clustered around its churches. Here lived the notables of Aleppo's Christian communities, notably the Armenians who specialised in trade with India and Persia; the Ġazaleh House was built in front of two large Muslim waqfs — created in 1583-90 and 1653 — and together they form the monumental heart of a lively mixed Christian-Muslim neighbourhood. Unique for its size and decor, Beit Ghazaleh embodies the wealth and power of the Christian community in 17th century Aleppo.

The decorative panels of Beit Ghazaleh do not include human figure representations. This diversity of sources underlines the rich Arab culture and the eclecticism typical of Aleppo urban élites. Throughout the centuries, the mansion’s footprint expanded or contracted according to changing needs and fortunes. However, it always maintained a main central courtyard of 250m2. At its apex, the house covered an area of 1,600m2, with 570m2 occupied by six courtyards; the actual size of the complex is invisible from the outside. The present entrance was opened in the 19th century on the main street on the house’s East side; this entrance leads to the principal courtyard, the focal centre and the main thoroughfare to the rest of the house. Polychrome marble tiles, forming a "carpet" in front of the iwan, precede the great fountain in the courtyard, with its games of water, stone basins and cascades; the fine wall decorations in the courtyard are said to have been carved by the Armenian sculptor Khachadur Bali a member of the Balyan family of Ottoman court architects.

A North-South axis cuts through the whole house underlining the importance of the iwan from where it originates. This line divides the courtyard's paving and garden into a precise geometry; the rest of the space is organized according to the needs of the household and the shape of the plot without concern for symmetry. All around the main courtyard and doors punctuate the facades. Above these openings, the relative intricacy of the low relief decor surrounding them establishes the hierarchy of the rooms with the iwan at its summit; the stone decor of the iwan facade and of its annexes dates from mid-17th century. The painted wooden panels of the qubba and the surviving panels of the iwan are dated from the same period; the iwan, first meant to provide comfort from the summer heat, is thus the "centre" of the house and plays an essential symbolic role representing the power of the master of Beit Ghazaleh. The five rectangular rooms accessible from the courtyard were once decorated with woodwork that has now entirely disappeared.

The sixth room to the West is a vast T-shaped qa'a, indicative of power. Opposite the iwan, the North façade dates from the end of the 17th century, it is remarkable for its lavish decor, unique in Aleppo. In the centre, the ablaq emphasizes the strict symmetry of the facade, while the interior spaces do not follow the same organization. According to an inscription, the large room in the East Wing dates from 1691, its rich interior decoration refurbished in the 19th century, includes four distinct sets of inscriptions: Psalm 91 of the Bible on the ceiling cornice. The floor of the iwan, of some other rooms, has retained its old split-level organization; the spaces where you stand and circulate, the corridors and the ataba-s, are at the same level as the courtyard. The rest of each room, covered with mats and rugs, is about 50 centimetres higher; the line of sight and the height of cushions determine the height of the sills and windows and thus the internal and external organization of the facades.

The hammam steam bath in the northwest corner is comparable to a public bath, but presents a simplified plan because the vast'qâ‘a' served as a dressing room and resting space before and after bathing. Kitchens and other service quarters, stables and warehouses for provisions were situated to the North-east and South of the house, accessible from the alleys that surround the plot to the house's North and the South; the southwest corner of the courtyard, the West wing, was rebuilt in 1737. It includes three key elements: a large rectangular room with a fireplace, a large'qâ‘a' and a hammam; the T-shaped'qâ‘a' includes three iwan-s with wooden ceilings framing a ataba with a small octagonal basin in the centre, covered with a dome. The fourth facade of the ataba opens towards the central courtyard, its interior decor includes stone tiles with geometric patterns and wooden panels painted with cups and fruit bouquets in vases. The'qâ‘a' has t

Pirates in Batavia was a water-dark ride at Europa-Park. The ride was built by Mack Rides in 1987 and was situated in a large hall at the Dutch themed area, designed as a typical Dutch clinker brick building from the outside. In some aspects the attraction was reminiscent of the different Pirates of the Caribbean-Rides at the Walt Disney parks; the story was set during a pirate raid on Jakarta in the 17th century at the beginning of the Dutch colonization of Indonesia. The building of the ride was characterized with a banner labeled with "Piraten in Batavia" in golden letters and a Jolly Roger; the station was situated on the first floor. On their way to the station, visitors were introduced to the backstory, while learning about the history of the Dutch colonisation of Indonesia, shown in different animated scenes. Mural paintings showed the Java Sea region, including the maps of Sumatra and Java. At the station the visitors got on one of the boats, each with a capacity of 16 riders; the first scene showed a cave in the Indonesian jungle, inhabited by different animals and humans.

After a wide bend, the boat went down a waterfall and passed through a battle scene, in which a pirate ship attacked a nearby fort. The scene was dominated by screaming pirates and gunfire. Through a break in the fortification wall, the boat arrived Batavia, full of marauding pirates. In the following scenes the visitor experienced how the pirates won over the native women, staving off their hunger by eating exotic animals and getting drunk; the ride carried on passing a hidden temple in the jungle, a burning fort, a fishermen's village and a jail. Just before the end of the ride, the boats passed a show venue on the right, embedded into the setting, the themed restaurant Bamboe Baai. On 26 May 2018, Pirates in Batavia burned to the ground in a colossal fire that destroyed the main themed area of the Scandinavia portion of the park; the cause of the fire is unknown, but a fireball erupted in a storage hall and spread towards the ride building resulting in high flames and a smoke plume stretching for miles.

At first, the area was evacuated, but this was revised to include the whole park. The park re-opened on Sunday, albeit with the Scandinavia and Norwegian sections of the ride closed. Two attractions, the'Fjord-Rafting' and the'Dschungel-Floßfahrt' remained closed, as firefighters had used water from those attractions to battle the fire.
